Further evidence uncovered by a UN investigation establishes that Russian forces invaded Ukraine carrying out “indiscriminate attacks” and war crimes, including rape and the deportation of minors to Moscow.

“The collected evidence further shows that Russian authorities have committed the war crimes of willful killing, torture, rape and other sexual violence, and the deportation of children to the Russian Federation,” stated a United Nations Commission of inquiry on Ukraine, in its report submitted to the UN general assembly.

“The commission has recently documented attacks that affected civilian objects, such as residential buildings, a railway station, shops, and a warehouse for civilian use, leading to numerous casualties,” the inquiry added.

An arrest warrant was issued for Russian President Vladimir Putin by the International Criminal Court (ICC) in March for overseeing the abduction of Ukrainian children.

Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky along with top commanders visited Kherson’s southern region where the Ukrainian troops were praised for defending Avdiivka and Kupiansk, two places where attacks have been intensified by Russia.

“Thanks to all our boys, who powerfully hold the defence and destroy the occupier day after day,” said Zelensky, in a video shared on the Telegram messaging app. “These days, the Russian losses are really staggering, and it is precisely losses by the occupier that Ukraine needs,” he added.
